This is an exquisite cabochon of Candelaria Turquoise! Candelaria turquoise is a rare, highly collectible, and high-grade stone from Nevada's Candelaria Hills, famously known for its striking, intense electric blue color and reddish-brown to black spiderweb matrix. Mined sporadically as a byproduct of silver and gold mining since the 1860s, this hard, silica-rich stone is prized by artists for jewelry due to its vibrant, almost translucent, dark blue hue. This bolo is accented by finely stamped Sterling Silver work which help set off this beautiful cabochon.
